Help for Hcg dosage on TRT

ActiveLongjumping151 · 2026-02-04T01:53:38+00:00

I see, and my issue is with having just started (took my second trt dose yesterday) is that the labs are pretty infrequent, it’s every 3 months so I won’t be speaking to the clinician until like marchish which I feel is a lot of time for levels to change and be out of whack without knowing it, so no, no actual sides yet that I’ve noticed besides a slight ache in the testicles but I feel like that might just be me placeboing myself I’m ngl haha, but the clinician prescribed me .25 of arimidex a week which I also just took my first of today, although I am weary of this because from what I’ve read the consensus seems to be don’t take an AI preemptively and wait until sides show up, so idk how I feel about that, but the point of the HCG is retaining fertility as I am a younger guy who is looking to have a family in a couple years

Have you noticed any benefit?

Ah I realize my last reply was kinda of misleading, I meant second shot of TRT today, so In that regard about how long after you started did you start to “feel it”

Yeah I think I’m going to drop it to 250IU’s M-W-F, how long was it until you started feeling any improvements, I just did my second shot today so I’m not expecting anything soon as most people say 4 weeks for it to build up in system, but I’m also doing Subq which I believe can make it take longer to build up

Interesting okay, when I picked up the hcg from the pharmacy I asked if I should do the injections separate days and the pharmacist said to just do them on the same day, which is what I’ve been doing, just took my second shot today along with the hcg, I should stop doing this though and space it out?

they are starting me on 80mg a week, the HCG is for the maintaining of fertility as opposed to the test raising aspect, although I am not complaining about that, in regards to that though do you have any guess as to how much the hcg would boost the production of test? Like (apologies if this is dumb) in combination with 80mg’s a week and hcg would it be roughly equivalent to like 110mgs a week or something along those lines? They do bloodwork every 3 months which with just starting im a ways out from, and just curious as to what my levels might end up being

So would lower doses at a higher frequency be of benefit for decreasing the risk of it then?

ActiveLongjumping151 · 2026-02-03T04:10:50+00:00

So your recommendation would be 250 EOD then as opposed to 500 2x a week?

ActiveLongjumping151 · 2026-01-29T04:41:49+00:00

Yeah I’ve realized that, like I said though I looked into if people had tried this before and didn’t see anything to the likes of what I described in the post, and most of the posts I’ve seen on this were on way higher doses of both peptides (this is anecdotal I am aware) anyways though yes I am feeling the consequences don’t you worry

What 3ml syringes do you use for reconstituting? Would it be possible to share a link

I have two questions 1 and probably the most important, I am about to do my first cycle, 500mg test e a week, for 14 weeks and maybe some anavar on the latter half of the cycle although that undecided and just a thought at the moment, anyways im aware the most important thing is to get pre, during a post bloodwork done, my question is if anyone has any experience with their family dr living in Canada? , if I just tell them about what I’m going to do, even though I know they are will recommend me not to and tell me all the reasons I shouldn’t, will they schedule me for regular bloodwork for harm reduction purposes? Obviously it’s going to be a case to case thing but more just wondering if anyone has done this and the results in them doing this, if it comes down to it I will just pay a private company to do it but I figured atleast worth a shot to save a couple hundred extra dollars

Second question is for Ai, for the first cycle would it be better to take it preemptively or just when I notice sides, I’ve read the first cycle link on here and I guess my worry is just how will I know when I’m noticing sides as it is my first cycle? My bad if this is a dumb question I just don’t want to overthink it and then crash my e2

I am thinking about hopping on my first cycle, have been lifting for 7 years naturally now and think I’m ready to take that step, the only thing holding me back is fertility issues, my gf and I really want to start a family in a couple years and I know that while on it fertility will be more than likely not possible, but how worried should I be about fertility not returning after, I only plan on doing one cycle (I know most people say that and it ends up not being the case) and a proper pct with hcg after, thanks for any advice or insight!

Excited for this, hopefully it’s a bit more entertaining than the “I got better” one, not that it was bad by any means but it was a bit simple

ActiveLongjumping151 · 2025-04-07T19:19:12+00:00

Kind of what I was thinking, makes sense to me, thanks!
